I changed my idea, because the one with the soup was more a reaction than a change of an emotion. So I did some new sketches and finally went with #8. This is the first time I tried the Copied Pairs method. I'm not sure if i like it ;). My mentor Michelle always works with Copied Pairs, therefore she advised us to give it a try.

A new term hast started and here is my first assignment. This time I got Michelle Meeker as mentor. A few fellow students from AM told me that she is pretty tough in here e-critiques and it's not easy to get good marks. Let's see if she likes my ideas ;).

About the assigment. First i decided to go with the soup idea, but after a Student Q&A meeting (Flash meeting) I decided to go with the Loo idea, which is more unique and gives me some more room for the acting.

Another Term is over, and it was a blast again ... I want to thank my mentor Randy (Randall Cook) and everyone else who helped me improving my shots, especially Goro gave me a lot of great input.

DONE ... this time it was pretty hard to finish the animation in time. Especially the part when he bounces back from the wall into the safe was pretty hard, I animated about 5-7 different versions ... but it's done now --> one week vacation now Yeehaw ;).

First Spline Pass ... Because my fellow AM combatants didn't like the blue I tried to find an even uglier colour to punish them for there brashness ;). Especially Randy (my Mentor) get a red skin tone during the critique ... he wasn't pretty happy about it :D. Besides the colour stuff I'm not pretty happy with this piece, because I hadn't much time to work on it, the final assignment will be a lot better ... I hope :).

Second Blocking Pass ... Yeah I know the blue is sooooooooooo ugly 😉 I just used it to be able to concentrate more on the animation (silhouette). In the final version I will change the color an the walls get textured 🙂

Sorry for being so lazy in updating my blog 🙁 ... I'll get better on this. So here is my latest masterpiece ... HeHe. This time I want to have a different style and experiment a bit with the lighting and enabled motionblur, but it takes sooo long to render it :(.

I also had to plan the next assignment. My preferred version is the one with the safe for which i crated the video reference. Hope you like it.

First blocking done 🙂 - I decided to realize the first idea with Stuwie as a criminal and Tailor as the police trying to catch Stewie. This time I tried to make the animation more cartoony.

Assignment 204 was about finishing the assignment started in the first week and planing the next shot, which is about Stuwie (without arms) crossing a canyon trough some posts. Therefore we had to record a video reference again and plan everything on paper as always.

Unfortunately I'm not able to do a front flip, therefor the weird cuts in the video. For the flip reference I created an animated '.gif' using some of the 'Muybridge - The Human Figure in Motion' Photographs.

Here are my first ideas on the next assignment
